South Carolina preview: Bama tries to stay in a high orbit after rocketing past Vols​

Part of the gameday experience in Columbia, S.C., is listening to the overture from “2001: A Space Odyssey” as the Gamecocks take the field.

There was a sequel to that movie, way back when: “2010: The Year We Make Contact.” And in 2010, Alabama made contact with Gamecock QB Stephen Garcia. It ended about as well as the “2010” astronauts’ attempts to communicate with the monolith at Europa.

Thanks, Jess! Your analysis and insights are always appreciated. No one does it better.
I'll take that score. But I'm hoping for at least one more touchdown.

Getting nervous about this game. 27-13 would suit me just fine. Survive and advance.

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Bama will be up 28-6 at halftime.
The TWOs will get a lot of playing time in the 2nd half.

I hope you are right. But they might wait for a 34 to 6 before putting in the 2s. The back up quarterbacks especially need play time.

Great one Jess!

Great write up. I’ll take the win even if it is an ugly one today. We have to get up for fight for the fifth week in a row. If Shula has some tricks we will see them today.

Thanks, Jess. Sounds about right. Roll Tide!
